It’s been a while since I’ve written on here. It’s not that I don’t have anything to say. I have tons of things to say but I think I’m lacking the motivation to write it down on paper or type on the computer.
Married life is great. I recommend it to everyone. Really, I do.
Having Netflix is really worth it. The local Hollywood Video or Blockbuster don’t carry nearly enough titles, especially documentaries. In the past few months I’ve watched the Martin Scorcese documentary on Bob Dylan No Direction Home. Awesome I must say. How could people boo Dylan for going electric? It’s madness. Fucken folk music hippies. It reminds me a lot of when Zack de la Rocha left Rage Against the Machine. I remember reading some of the forums where people wanted rappers like Eminem to fill Zack’s place in the band. They didn’t recognize that Zack was the driving force behind the band. You can just substitute some other rapper and continue being the same. Artists change. As a fan you can’t expect an artist to stay stagnant, they have to evolve. Zack tired of RATM and Dylan the same in the political-change vanguard. It’s a but funny really.
Another good doc that I (er I mean we) saw was Who Killed the Electric Car. Excellent. It’s outrageous that GM had a solution to a huge problem that affects all of us now and yet they decided to eliminate to solution in order to continue to fill coffers of the oil companies (and their own of course). Why reinvent the wheel with hydrogen cars? The technology for electric cars has existed for 100 years! Who knew some of the first cars were run on electricity.
You cannot expect everyone to switch over to hybrids overnight but there are many things we can do to save gas. The only problem is that nobody does them. Driving 55 miles per hour on the highway will save you tons of money but unfortunately you will get flipped off many a times.
I’ll continue this later…
Random comment: Funny that you mention “Who killed the electric car,” I like to use this line as joke. Whenever my daughter asks me something that I don’t understand, or just to full around, I say “who killed the electric car.” I guess am kind of crazy. but I agree, online movie rental beats going to the store.
i heart my netflix. especially because their foreign film selection is always more extensive than the one at any of my local video stores. we are hooked on the on demand feature as well. we recently watch king corn and it left us feeling sick.
